Is it safe to administer Omeprazole (Omez) 10 mg capsules to a six-week-old infant diagnosed with reflux, and what is the correct method for administration?

Asked by Female, 1 · 22 days ago

While omeprazole (Omez) is sometimes prescribed for infant reflux, a 10 mg capsule is generally too high a dose for a six-week-old baby. Infant dosages must be very precisely calculated by a pediatrician based on the baby's weight. Furthermore, administering capsules to newborns is highly challenging and can be unsafe. Please consult your pediatrician before giving this medication. They can prescribe the correct, safe dosage?often in an easy-to-use liquid suspension?and guide you on how to give it safely.
